Hi! I always begin a story that I never finish. I have an idea about it, but I forget about finishing my story. I write two pages, and I have an exposition, but I always get stuck after I write my exposition. Also, I never brainstorm my story and skip straight to drafting. How can I improve my writing skills?

There are three posts about writer's block on my blog that you might like to read, and my book WRITING MAGIC has a chapter, called Stuck!, on the subject. There's also a chapter about ideas. You may find all of these helpful.

Why did you decide to go back and write prequels? And why for The Two Princess of Bamarre and Ella Enchanted? I loved the prequel for Bamarre, but didn't enjoy Ogre Enchanted as much, to my disappointment, just due to personal preferences. Thank you so much for writing! I can't wait for your next book to come out!
